Mushrooms in the Ulyanovsk region
General description
Before going into the forest, it is important to prepare well and find out near which settlements these or those mushrooms are collected.
Be sure to study the species of edible and inedible forest organisms.
Mushrooms are divided into 4 main categories of edibility:
- Category 1: edible;
- Category 2: conditionally edible;
- Category 3: inedible;
- Category 4: poisonous.
Also, since the times of the Soviet Soviet Union, there has been and is widely used the division of mushrooms into categories according to their taste:
- Category 1: this includes the most nutritious and delicious mushrooms (porcini, chanterelles, milk mushrooms, mushrooms).
- Category 2: it is represented by good edible mushrooms, which are quite a bit inferior to the representatives of the 1st category in quality and taste (obabki, Polish, oak, boletus, champignons).
- Category 3: mushrooms are characterized by average taste data, they are collected only if nothing else can be found (volnushki, mushrooms, russula, honey agarics, milkers, etc.)
- Category 4: all representatives from the point of view of culinary are characterized by low taste, and therefore, most mushroom pickers do not pay attention to them (umbrellas, raincoats, ryadovki (greenfinches), oyster mushrooms, goats, etc.).
However, the division into these strict food categories is now being phased out and the nutritional value for each mushroom is indicated. Therefore, one and the same mushroom can be “listed” in completely different categories.
A striking example of such "food vagrancy" can be considered a champignon, which used to belong to the 3rd category, and now to the 2nd or even 1st, which is determined by its popularity in cooking.
Kinds
After the first spring rains, forest thickets and thickets are saturated with moisture and warmth.
The first mushrooms appear on the rotten leaves of last year, under the tree trunks not yet fully revived after winter. These include:
- morels and lines;
- may white;
- common tinder fungi;
- field and meadow champignons;
- birch and oak sponges.
Morel is a fleshy, rather large mushroom with a wrinkled cap that is yellow, brown, or dark brown. Its height reaches 20 cm. The lucky one can find such a delicacy fungus weighing up to 0.5 kg. ...
Original growths grow on birches and oaks.
These are sponges, or rather the young fruiting bodies of tinder fungi - edible and tasty.
Champignons delight from spring to late autumn.
With the onset of summer, the forests are filled with other types of mushrooms. The main ones are:
- white;
- podosionovik;
- loading;
- chanterelles;
- white milk mushrooms;
- black mushrooms;
- bullocks;
- pigs;
- oyster mushrooms.
They grow on different soils and in forests of different woody composition. So, some like to live on well-lit forest edges, others prefer partial shade and hide in the forest slums.
Poisonous
Poisonous mushrooms can kill
In addition to useful and tasty mushrooms, there are poisonous ones, which can very successfully (for them, not for mushroom pickers) disguise themselves as edible. One small piece of such "forest meat" can spoil a whole dish and lead to a hospital bed.
Some species threaten death. This is how the pale toadstool is called the "forest killer". Because of its consumption, the highest number of deaths was recorded.
In order for a trip to the forest to end with a tasty and healthy dinner, you should study poisonous and inedible species. These include:
- lepiota;
- fly agaric;
- red champignon;
- fiberglass;
- the milky is pale.
Irina Selyutina (Biologist):
The miller is pale, or pale yellow, or dull, belongs to the genus Miller from the russula family. As it grows, its convex cap becomes like a funnel and can reach a diameter of 12 cm. It is covered with a yellowish skin (hence the name of the species itself), smooth and slimy. The lamellar hymenophore slightly descends on a hollow, smooth, cylindrical stalk, the color of the cap and stalk being the same. The pulp is thick, can be white or creamy, slightly pungent in taste and has a pleasant aroma. A tasteless white milky juice that does not change color upon contact with atmospheric oxygen is abundantly released on the scrap. Despite the fact that the juice has no original taste, however, it leaves behind a bitter aftertaste in the mouth.
Fruiting bodies can be found in July-August. These mushrooms are confined to deciduous and mixed forests, oak forests, where they form mycorrhiza, respectively, with oaks and birches.
Pale miller is classified as conditionally edible, however, due to its rather rare occurrence, taste has been little studied. Those mushroom pickers who collected and salted it, consider the mushroom successful for such a harvest. However, they warn that they need to be soaked for several days with regular water changes at least 2-3 times a day. This removes all the bitterness from the pulp. After washing, the mushrooms are boiled for about 7 minutes and salted. After salting, they become a beautiful yellow color and acquire a pleasant sour taste.
Amanita muscariaceae and blushing are dangerous and poisonous, despite all their external attractiveness. After heavy rain, their white spots on the caps are often washed out, and they become like ordinary russula.
Bile mushrooms are considered doubles of noble boletus and boletus. Their appearance is similar, but the taste is bitter, unpleasant. It is difficult to remove toxic substances from this conditionally edible specimen without special knowledge.
